s'more s'mores please

I don't know what it is about this group of friends but every time we get together we always introduce something marginally dangerous to our kids and then supervise them just a little bit and hope for the best.  At New Years it was 12 kids with sparklers, 1 dad lighting off random fireworks, and 9 parents not really paying attention until a firework tipped over and started shooting flames at the kids.  Thankfully no one got hurt, we just all vowed to drink less next time and parent more.

Last weekend it was 9 kids with hot sticks, no dads, 4 moms trying to guard the fire, not really cluing into the fact that the kids were close to poking each others eyes out with their hot marshmallow sticks.  No one got hurt or shot with a firework this time so we may actually get to do this again!

We did overload the kids with sugar though which is another fun thing we like to do when we get together.  I think it makes us all feel better about overindulging in what we like to overindulge in.  We like to keep the kids/parents score even.
